Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We do not understand the construction appellant’s counsel has placed upon this rule in drawing what he denominates ‘points.’ Each of these.‘points’ is a mere reference to the assignment of error to which the subjoined proposition or propositions relate. This reference, while held by some of the courts of civil appeals not to be mandatory, is helpful, and therefore proper, and the rule should be amended so as-to require it, but to call the reference itself a point within the meaning of rule 30 is manifestly a misnomer.” .”
